Schneider Servo Cable VW3M5101R30

Due to the compactness of most motion systems, there is little room for errors in the connectivity of these systems. Therefore, with cable harnesses being routed through tight drag chains and moving thousands of times during a single shift, the reliability of both the power and feedback signals becomes extremely important. The Schneider Servo Cable VW3M5101R30 is designed specifically for these high cycle applications where continuous flexing of the cable will need to work around the continuous transmission of a valid signal. Moreover, at Perfect Automation & Innovation, we support the installation of Servo Drives with cables that also provide a reliable connection over extended production hours.

Fine-stranded conductors are utilized within the cable to allow proper handling of dynamic motion without incurring internal fatigue. Additionally, shielding is applied with the goal to lessen the effects of electromagnetic interference, allowing encoder data to be transmitted to the drive without distortion, even in cabinets where there are numerous switching devices and high current feeders. Finally, the outer jacket of the cable is designed to provide protection against oil, abrasion and mechanical stresses that are common in fully automated systems.

Factory-installed connectors maintain accurate pin arrangement and help reduce on-site commissioning times for the purchaser. The connector's ability to securely lock helps eliminate intermittent losses of communication due to high-speed acceleration or vibration. Cable lengths are specifically designed to match the actual axis travel of the given machine thus eliminating excess cable loops that may hinder effective signal transmission between two devices.

Each unit undergoes continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, and shielding effectiveness testing prior to delivery.

These servo cables are commonly used within CNC machinery, packaging equipment, robotic handling systems, and/or automated assembly lines where the positioning accuracy, repeatability of motion, and accuracy of feedback directly affect both production quality and machine availability.
